Come run with us at Flintshire 3K

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Web team

We are looking for more girls and families of Buckley Girls Gymnastics Club to run with us at this year’s Flintshire 3k on 13 October 2013.

Some of the girls and their parents are doing the family run as a team so we’ll be wearing our Buckley colours to represent the club – and we’d like to invite you to join us.

If you want to run you can sign up online here.

Alternatively, you can sponsor us all via this link to our dedicated fundraising page with all money in support of Nightingale House Hospice in Wrexham

Maxine and coaches at a farewell dinner where Maxine officially handed over to Ceri

Our head coach for the last 13 years, Maxine Baker, flies off to start a new life with husband Arron and children Kira and Mollie in Perth, Western Australia, on 12 September.

Maxine took over from her father, Stan Buckley, in November 2002 and carried on producing Welsh squad members and gymnasts to international level with both team and individual wins against the French and Dutch.

Pictured are Maxine and coaches at a farewell dinner where Maxine officially handed over to Ceri Sass.

We all wish Maxine every success in Australia and can’t thank her enough for the 15 years she coached and led the club: Good luck Maxine you will be greatly missed.

Thanks also go to Ceri for caretaking the position and we wish her good luck as our head coach.
